Condition Report

Before you begin your tenancy with Investment Property Agents, we do a detailed inspection of the property and a condition report is done at the same time, of which the tenant gets a copy and has 7 days to return a signed copy back to our office. You have the opportunity to agree or disagree with what the property manager has noted. You, the tenant, keep a copy for your records.

Periodic Inspections

Periodic inspections are carried out during the course of your tenancy and 7 days notice is given to the tenant. These inspections are to check that the property is being maintained and see what routine maintenance is required.

Gardens and Lawns

As per your Lease Agreement, it is your responsibility to keep your gardens weeded, the lawns mowed and generally keep the house and grounds well presented.

Vacating your Premises or Terminating Your Tenancy Agreement 

If you are approaching the end of your lease agreement, however it has not as yet expired, you must give 14 days written notice.

If your lease has expired, you must give 21 days written notice.

If, for any reason you need to break the lease agreement, rent shall have to be paid until a new tenant can be secured.

You must leave your premises in a clean and well presented state and all keys are to be returned to Investment Property Agents. Your Property Manager will do a final inspection and providing that the above is adhered to and there are no outstanding monies owing, ie water and rent etc., your bond will be returned to you.

The above tips and procedures are only a guideline, for a more detailed view, read your copy of The Renting Guide located in your Investment Property Agents Tenant Pack.
